    See an answer I gave several times to several immigrants yesterday to a post entitled "Dual Status Confusion." That should get you on your way.

    1) You will EACH have to file Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ, plus whatever state tax forms.

    2) As non-resident aliens, you cannot file jointly. Also, you probably cannot claim your child as a dependent.

    3) You do NOT get the standard deduction.; the personal exemption is $3,300.
